Recycling & Re-using is the modern equivalent of good old fashioned respect for our environment; and not half as efficient!

I have been painting and making wierd and groovy art-works and craft-pieces all my life.  I can remember sketching in ultra-fine detail, a stuffed toy mouse in a dress, that I had previously sewn together from a kit bought for me for christmas at the age of 11.  I remember being chuffed about it and the Rellies were impressed, so I guess you could say that getting attention spurred me ever onward in my quest to make stuff that interests or pleases....and so I still make stuff, but am constantly limited in either resources or time....

My main focus for this lense is stuff I have created from scraps, re-used, re-cycled, found and donated (to my cause!) materials....they are usually bits that are odd, raw and very unusual....lack of resources (money) means I've been forced to use what I can find...with surprising results!!

The cause?  Well to help raise awareness that we can use what's around us...effectively cutting down on waste in a less obvious but creative way!

I will be putting more up soon so do visit often.

Also check our band!!

If there's one thing I've learnt as an artist is that you've got to have an audience; somewhere to showcase your stuff....getting feedback, hopefully positive is what feeds the well of creativity.  Stopping it from drying up is our constant challenge. 

Keep an eye out for the creation of my new online gallery...TBA.

Cheers for now!!

Phoebe.
